SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 586,445, dated July 13,1897.-

Application filed March 5, 1897. Serial No. 625,958. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JULIUs MANIGOLD, of Dexter, in the county ofJefierson and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulMechanical Movement, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention is a mechanical movement of that class which providemeans for transforming and transmitting movement derived from manualsources. The said class of inventions is more specifically characterizedby a movable stool and a swinging hand-lever,

both mounted on certain means bywhich the motion from the stool andlever are synchronized and regularly transmitted from the apparatus.

This specification is a disclosure of the embodiment of the invention,while the claim defines the actual scope of my conception.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the apparatus with parts in section, andFig. 2 is a sectional end elevation thereof.

The base-rail 3 is horizontally carried on two feet 4 and has twostandards 5 rising from one end and carrying a block 6. Movablevertically in the block 6 and between the standards 5 is the stem 7 ofthe stool or seat 8. The braces 9 respectively extend downward andinward from the standards 5 and are attached to opposite sides of therail 3. Fulcrumed between the braces 9 is a lever 10, which extendsbetween the standards 5 and has the stem-7 pivotally stepped thereon,

whereby to support the stem and seat. The lever 10 is bifurcated at itsouter end to receive the stem 7.

Fixed on opposite sides of the rail 3 are two standards 11, respectivelybraced by guy-bars 12, running downward and inward to the rail 3.Fulcrumed between the lower portions of the standards 11 is .a lever 22,formed of two rigidly-connected plates holding a tongue 13 at the innerend of the lever. The tongue 13 is received between the bifurcated innerend of the lever 10 and is pivoted thereto by a pin 14, runningtransversely beyond each side of the levers 10 and 22 and carrying ateach .ends of the standards 11.

end a pedal 15. The ends of the arms formed by the bifurcation of theinner end of the lever 10 arev rounded concentrically to the pin 14 andrespectively fit into the correspond in gly-concaved inner ends of theplates forming the lever 22, thereby forming a very snug joint betweenthe two levers. The opening in the tongue 13, through which opening thepin 14: passes, is elongated to permit a slight sliding of the pin asthe levers 10 and 22 swing in different arcs. Mounted between the platesforming the lever 22 is a bar 23, which extends upward between theguy-bars 12 and standards 11 and is braced by a bar 16, attached to itsupper end and running downward and outward to the outer portion of thelever 22, to which the bar 16 is rigidly attached. A hand-pin 17 ispassed transversely through the upper end of the bar 23, whereby saidbar may be swung by the hands of the person using the apparatus.

A lever 18 is fulcrumed at one end 011 a pin 19, passing transverselybetween the upper The lever 18 is formed of two rigidly-attached platesand extends outward from the standards 1l. Pivoted between the platesforming the lever 18 is a rod 20, which runs down to the outer end ofthe lever 22 and is pivoted thereto. The free extremity of the lever 18carries a link 21, which hangs pendent, as shown, and is particularlyeffective for driving reciprocal dasher-churns or for imparting motionto a rotary crank-shaft.

A person seated on the stool and grasping the pin 17 and bearing on thepedals 15 should rock back and forth, causing the stem 7 to reciprocatevertically and the levers 10 and 22 to rock. Power is applied at threepointsnamely, at the stool 8, the pin 17, and pedals 15. These diversemovements are concentrated in the lever 22, from which the regular swingof said lever is transmitted to the link 21.

Having thus described my invention, I
